The Bernese Alps form the centerpiece of this late summer view of Switzerland; Jungfrau (J—4158 m), Moench (M—4089 m), and Eiger (E—3970 m) are among the higher peaks of the Central Alps. North of the range is the city of Interlaken, flanked by the Thune See and Brienzer See (lakes); the long, straight-segmented valley of the Rhone lies to the south.
On the southern flank of the Jungfrau massif is the Aletsch glacier, meltwaters of which feed the upper Rhone; another source is the Rhone glacier at the eastern end of the valley. One estimate holds that roughly half the ice in glaciers of the European Alps has melted since 1850. U-shaped valleys carved by glaciers are clearly visible; some, such as that of the Rhone, have been modified by through-flowing rivers.
The Swiss Alps are elements of a great mountain system that was constructed as Africa and Eurasia collided, starting more than 90 million years ago. Ancient basement rocks (>325 million years old) of the Bernese Alps were uplifted, folded, and forced northward between ~29 and 10 million years ago.
Forms for individual children contain information entered by volunteers who visit to check on their welfare. The assessment forms enable social workers to determine the needs for each child and respond promptly to provide the support required. These forms, known as Form 1A, are entered into a “live” database and then filed.

Anish Kapoor in Pitzhanger Manor, optical tricks with mirrors and metal
Anish Kapoor
(March to August 2019)
Within the newly restored gallery, with its three circular skylights, Kapoor’s sculptures challenge our traditional notion of form and space by disorientating the viewer and transforming their surroundings.
These sculptures echo Soane’s complex use of mirrors and light and will enable visitors to Pitzhanger to see Soane’s architecture from a fresh perspective.
[Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery]
Pitzhanger Manor was bought by Sir John Soane (1753-1837) in 1800. He demolished most of George Dance's building but retained the southern extension, replacing the main block with one of his own design. In the same year Soane employed John Haverfield to produce new designs for the grounds which were delivered by September 1800 (guidebook). The new mansion was used to display Soane's art collection and for entertaining, his Lincoln's Inn house being retained as the family residence. By 1809 Soane was only occasionally at Pitzhanger and in June of that year he instructed James Christie to sell the house and the estate. Once again the property passed through a series of owners until, in 1843, it was sold to the politician Spencer Walpole and became the home of his four unmarried sisters-in-law, the daughters of the Rt Hon Spencer Perceval. Prior to the death aged ninety-five of the last-surviving Perceval sister, Frederika, in May 1900, her nephew, Sir Spencer Walpole, had begun negotiations with Ealing District Council for the sale of the house and the estate. The sale negotiations were completed early in January 1900 and, following Miss Perceval's death, alterations were carried out. The then Borough Surveyor, Charles Jones, was responsible for the designs for the alterations to the house and grounds and in April 1902 the building was opened as a public library. At the time of the sale, the property was variously referred to as Manor House Park (Middlesex County Times, 19 May 1900) and Perceval Park (Middlesex County Times, 28 July 1900). The name Walpole Park was adopted after communications between the last owner and Ealing Borough Council towards the end of 1900.
Further major alterations to the library building were completed by 1940 and then, in 1984, the Central Library was moved to new premises in Ealing. The following year a continuing programme of restoration and repair to both the mansion and the grounds began. The restored manor house was reopened as a museum and centre for cultural events in the late 1990s. The grounds continue (2000) in the ownership of the London Borough of Ealing.

Glacially-formed Pothole on Pothole Dome. These bowl-shaped features were carved into the granite of Pothole Dome when it was covered by glaciers during the Tioga Stage about 20,000 years ago. The granite was scoured by streams flowing in tunnels beneath the ice. Rocks caught in vortex in such a stream were whirled about, drilling these holes into the granite. Tuolumne Meadows area.

Raku, a revered Japanese art form, embodies simplicity, imperfection, and an intimate connection between the maker and their medium. Originating in the 16th century, it was traditionally used to craft tea bowls for the esteemed tea ceremony. Each piece, be it a tea cup, platter, or teapot, tells a story of fire and clay. The process embraces unpredictability as the objects are removed from the kiln while still molten, subjected to cooling that creates crackled glazes, smoky hues, and an air of serendipity.
The wabi-sabi aesthetic, rooted in the appreciation of transience and imperfection, finds its perfect partner in Raku. Together, they celebrate the beauty of flaws—the uneven edges, the crackled surfaces, the asymmetry that speaks of the artist’s hand and the elements’ influence. Raku is not about perfection but about presence, creating vessels that hold not just tea but the soul of the moment.
The Soul of Raku
In flames it breathes, the clay’s true form,
A dance of chaos, fire-streaked warm.
Crackled lines like life's own face,
Each flaw, a mark of time and grace.
In Raku’s hand, wabi-sabi gleams,
Imperfection woven into dreams.
A tea bowl speaks of transient days,
Beauty found in life's uneven ways.
Haikus
Crackled glaze whispers,
Flames kiss the clay with beauty,
Wabi-sabi’s truth.
Hands shape imperfection,
Kiln’s fire carves life in the clay,
Time’s breath etched within.
Tea cradles its bowl,
Fragile, transient, yet whole,
Raku’s humble soul.

Autor: José-María Moreno García. Fotógrafo humanista y documentalista. Una de las mejores formas de conocer la historia de un pueblo es a través de sus imágenes; en ellas se conserva no sólo su realidad tangible, calles, plazas, monumentos, sino también sus costumbres, fiestas, tradiciones, lenguaje, indumentaria, gestos y miradas, que nos dicen sin palabras como se vivía, cuales eran sus esperanzas y temores, qué había en su pasado, qué esperaban del futuro. Uno de los objetivos más ambiciosos es recuperar y catalogar todo el material gráfico existente en nuestra familia desde 1.915, para después ponerlo a disposición de vosotros, que la historia volviera a sus protagonistas, y los que aún siguen con nosotros pudieran disfrutar con ello.

The grove snail or brown-lipped snail (Cepaea nemoralis)
Easy to confuse with the similar Capaea hortensis - The White-lipped Snail. When the identity of an adult individual is questionable, and it is necessary to distinguish the two species, a dissection can be used in order to examine the anatomy: the structure of the love dart is quite different in the two species, as are the vaginal mucus glands.

Florence (Italian: Firenze [fiˈrɛntse] ( listen), alternative obsolete form: Fiorenza; Latin: Florentia) is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany and of the province of Florence. It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with approximately 370,000 inhabitants, expanding to over 1.5 million in the metropolitan area.
Florence is famous for its history. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence is considered the birthplace of the Renaissance, and has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages. A turbulent political history includes periods of rule by the powerful Medici family, and numerous religious and republican revolutions. From 1865 to 1871 the city was also the capital of the recently established Kingdom of Italy.
The historic centre of Florence attracts millions of tourists each year, and Euromonitor International ranked the city as the world's 72nd most visited in 2009, with 1,685,000 visitors. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. Due to Florence's artistic and architectural heritage, it has been ranked by Forbes as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and the city is noted for its history, culture, Renaissance art and architecture and monuments. The city also contains numerous museums and art galleries, such as the Uffizi Gallery and the Pitti Palace, amongst others, and still exerts an influence in the fields of art, culture and politics.
Florence is also an important city in Italian fashion, being ranked within the top fifty fashion capitals of the world; furthermore, it is also a major national economic centre,being a tourist and industrial hub. In 2008, the city had the 17th highest average income in Italy.

I used to follow this female photographer (on Flickr?) that had such cool abstracts of ice. She lived up on one of the Great Lakes so she got plenty of practice. But that was her thing. Beautiful images of ice bubbles, light through ice, rocks covered in ice. So here I am, searching all over a rock wall on the north side of Monte Sano for interesting bits covered in ice. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
